===Damage calculation formula===
−
The basic Garrote damage formula:
−
Multiplier = 1 + (0.1 * [[Opportunity]] Rank) + (0.2 if [[Shadowstep]] is used) + (.01 + .03 * [[Master of Subtlety]])
−
Total Garrote Damage = (X + Attack power * 0.07) * modifier * 6
−
Damage per Tick = Total Garrote Damage / 6
−
−
''The following assumes that the character is a level 19 Rogue with 278 attack power, 2/2 Opportunity and Garrote Rank 1.''
Damage Per Tick = 284.11 / 6 = 47.35 Damage every 3 seconds.

==Tips==
−
*Garrote is used more often in raids because of the fact that most mobs in raids are immune to stun effects ([[Cheap Shot]]), and [[Ambush]] causes too much threat upon the opening move whereas Garrote's threat is spread across a longer period.
−
*Starting at rank 7, Garrote inflicts a 3 second silence upon landing. This makes it a highly viable opener versus casters who can shake off a stun or immediately react to an ambush with a detrimental effect that can turn the fight around, such as [[Blink]].
*In PvP, also used extensively against other rogues if caught off guard, since damage resets stealth, making even [[vanish]] useless for enough time to finish the enemy.

Duration: 3 seconds
Garrote is a core rogue ability learned at level 46. It is a powerful damage over time ability that a rogue can use while stealthed to open a fight, also offering the ability to silence an opponent. It awards one combo point.
Garrote is used more often in raids because of the fact that most mobs in raids are immune to stun effects ([Cheap Shot]), and [Ambush] causes too much threat upon the opening move whereas Garrote's threat is spread across a longer period.
The silence component makes it a highly viable opener versus casters who can shake off a stun or immediately react to an ambush with a detrimental effect that can turn the fight around, such as Blink.
In PvP, also used extensively against other rogues if caught off guard, since damage resets stealth, making even vanish useless for enough time to finish the enemy.
